Prayagraj, Nov 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) As part of preparations for Mahakumbh 2025, the Yogi government is giving priority to the restoration of Prayagraj's historic temples, with renovations now close to completion.

Three key departments—the Tourism Department, Smart City, and Prayagraj Development Authority—are collaborating closely to finish these projects at an accelerated pace.
The Tourism Department is currently overseeing 15 temple corridor and renovation projects, with 14 set for completion by November 15 and the final project by November 30.

Vivek Chaturvedi, Additional Mela Officer for Mahakumbh, remarked, “Preparations for Mahakumbh are progressing at full speed. The temple corridor and renovation work are also in their final stages. The Mela administration has prioritised both the faith and the comfort of all devotees and tourists attending Mahakumbh to ensure a memorable experience for them.”
During Mahakumbh 2025, millions are expected to bathe at the sacred Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers converge. By visiting Prayagraj’s revered temples, devotees will express their deep devotion to the Sanatan faith.
